Guideline Salmon Fly - TS Olive Banana Double

There is something special about tying a "classic" double hook to the leader. The beauty of these salmon flies and their perfect balance make them a beautiful sight, both for us as fly fishers and for the fish. In other words, they are extremely fishy!

Tellis Katsogiannos (TS) from Guideline has developed a fly collection that covers many different situations on the salmon river. These double hook flies have proven their catchability all over the world and work all season long. Only in very high and cold water, where 8-10cm tube flies are needed, should you reach for another trick in your fly box! The TS collection from Guideline includes famous patterns, tied in the style Tellis prefers: sparsely tied, using material and flash efficiently and of course on high-quality hooks from Guideline. These double hooks have been used by Guideline for many years and offer the best quality from Japan. They are really strong, super sharp and still easy to sharpen if you get caught on a stone.

Olive Banana - a modern classic with endless variations. The Olive Banana is a pattern with mixed influences from different flies that has become a personal favourite for Tellis with the "perfect" shade. The TS Olive Banana Double is used either to blend in perfectly with its surroundings in clear waters, or as a fly that shows particularly well in dark waters. With its bright colours and tones, it is also a great all-rounder for sunny days. No fly box should be without this pattern!
